Mont Grand-Fonds, the best-kept secret for winter sports in Charlevoix

Mont Grand-Fonds is a welcoming, authentic ski resort known for its exceptional conditions and abundant natural snow. With its family-friendly vibe and excellent value for money, it’s no wonder Mont Grand-Fonds is such a popular destination. Cross-country skiing, backcountry skiing, alpine touring, snowmobiling, and downhill skiing are just some of the activities that await you this winter!

An enhanced downhill skiing experience

New this year, the Lynx Express detachable chairlift at Mont Grand-Fonds takes you to the top of the mountain three times faster. That means more time skiing and less time waiting!

Want to get your kids started on skis or try it yourself? The Mont Grand-Fonds snow school has a learning zone for beginners and a variety of packages for every skill level.

If you’re looking to spend more time on the mountain, a Coolbox unit is the perfect solution. This ski-in/ski-out accommodation combines comfort, convenience, and proximity to nature for a truly memorable ski escape.

Backcountry skiing for thrill-seekers

Do you crave fresh powder and adrenaline-packed adventures? If so, the Lynx side of the mountain is sure to deliver an unforgettable backcountry experience. Made up of glades and clearings, this untamed eight-hectare area lets you carve fresh tracks after every snowfall, thanks to the mountain’s unique microclimate.

Take the new Lynx Express chairlift or follow the skin track to this ungroomed trail and enjoy breathtaking winter views along with an authentic backcountry skiing experience.

Plenty for cross-country skiing enthusiasts

While Mont Grand-Fonds is known for downhill skiing, it also boasts an incredible network of cross-country skiing trails. With shelters heated by wood-burning stoves, more than 140 km of trails, and the guarantee of high-quality snow, Mont Grand-Fonds is the perfect destination for a challenging day on the slopes against the backdrop of the stunning Charlevoix landscape. What’s more, lessons are available for those looking to fine-tune their skills or learn new techniques.

Alpine touring: a different way to explore the mountain

If you want to explore the mountain at your own pace, away from the ski lifts, alpine touring is an exhilarating way to experience winter at Mont Grand-Fonds. Beginners will enjoy La Trappeur, an accessible uphill trail that leads to an alpine descent, capped by a stunning view at the Lac Gravel lookout. More experienced adventurers can take on La Paddy, a technical route that’s perfect for enjoying fresh powder after a snowstorm. Plus, you can rent all the equipment you need onsite!
